**Xbox CEO Asha Sharma told staff that Project Helix, the next-generation Xbox, will be a family of devices rather than a single console.** According to Windows Central's report on an internal town hall held October 6, Sharma said the tenth console generation will lead with a home console and also include hardware built for play away from the TV. The plan is the clearest signal yet of what Microsoft intends to release alongside its living-room hardware.

## What Sharma described

Sharma said Microsoft is moving to a family of devices for Gen-10 and that no single device will suit every player. According to Gadgets360's account of the meeting, a console comes first, but many players will also want to game away from the TV. Some products will be built in-house and others with partners, according to the same reporting.

The partner model has a precedent in the current lineup. The ROG Xbox Ally, a partner handheld, sits alongside Xbox Series X|S, and Microsoft has made Xbox games available on Windows PCs. The Xbox ecosystem already spans more than one kind of hardware and platform.

## How the approach compares with the Series generation

Microsoft has described Project Helix, earlier in 2026, as a custom AMD-powered system designed to play both Xbox console and PC games. GamingBible reported that Project Helix may feature an operating system that bridges console and PC storefronts. The Series generation centered on Xbox Series X|S. The family approach would instead make form factor a choice for buyers.

## Trade-offs and open questions

Splitting hardware between Microsoft and partners widens the choice of devices. It also means buyers must track which device runs which games and which storefront it uses. The reports do not identify which products would come from partners. Microsoft has not announced prices, release dates, or specifications for any handheld, so the portable hardware remains unconfirmed.

## Why this matters

For players, the plan means the next Xbox may be bought in more than one form, with a console at the center and portable hardware around it. It also signals that Microsoft wants Xbox hardware to follow players away from the living room. Microsoft has said it will share more as its plans develop, so official details on the handheld side are the next milestone to watch.
